Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to explore the effect of standardized patient (SP)-narrative nursing in the experimental teaching of surgical nursing.
Methods
A quasi-experimental study design was adopted. A total of 200 undergraduate nursing students were recruited from the Nursing College of Guilin Medical University in China from March 2023 to December 2024. The intervention group recruited students from the Class of 2022 (n = 100), and the control group recruited students from the Class of 2021 (n = 100). The intervention group adopted a teaching model combining standardized patients with narrative nursing based on traditional scenario-based simulation teaching, which was applied to the nursing of perioperative patients (4 class hours) and scenario-based case drills (4 class hours) in the experimental teaching of surgical nursing. The control group used traditional scenario-based simulation teaching. The Nurse Humanistic Care Quality Evaluation Scale, Clinical Thinking Ability Evaluation Index System Scale for Medical Students, and Nurse-Patient Communication Ability Evaluation Scale for Nursing Students were used to investigate and compare the teaching effects between the two groups of students.
Results
The total scores of the intervention group on humanistic care (91.39 ± 3.97), clinical thinking (79.64 ± 6.33), and nurse-patient communication (157.22 ± 7.95) abilities were significantly higher than those of the control group (82.29 ± 3.62, 65.11 ± 7.24, and 147.05 ± 7.84, respectively), with statistically significant differences (P < 0.01).
Conclusion
This study confirms that integrating the dual teaching model of standardized patients and narrative nursing in experimental teaching of surgical nursing has significantly optimized the theoretical and practical structure of teaching strategies. This innovative teaching method provides a promotable paradigm for nursing humanities education and is of positive significance for improving the effectiveness of cultivating the core literacy of nursing talents.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to promote excellence in nursing and health care through the dissemination of the latest, evidence-based, peer-reviewed clinical information and original research, providing an international platform for exchanging knowledge, research findings and nursing practice experience. This journal covers a wide range of nursing topics such as advanced nursing practice, bio-psychosocial issues related to health, cultural perspectives, lifestyle change as a component of health promotion, chronic disease, including end-of-life care, family care giving. IJNSS publishes four issues per year in Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct.
